The WFL Texans were charter members of that rebel football league and were established in 1974. After the team’s 11th game, they moved to Shreveport, Louisiana and became the Steamer. In their new hometown, the team fared better, at least at the ticket window, as fans embraced the team. The Steamer played their home games at the State Fair Grounds Stadium and returned for the 1975 season but folded along with rest of the league in October of that year, barely halfway through the league’s second season.
